PREFACE

THERE WAS NO DOUBT THAT MY CHANCES OF SURVIVAL WAS SLIM

I found myself standing in the very woods that I’d promised to stay away from but I had my reasons for being here. It was getting darker and colder so I wrapped my jaket around me tighter. The woods were filled with silence and I looked around for any signs of the slayer. As I heard the leaves on the ground rustling, I turned around and there he appeared from the treetops of a nearby pokok and he gave me a sly smile which sent shivers down my spine before slowly approaching me and my hati, tengah-tengah was pounding inside my chest. I was vulnerable as there wasn’t anyone to protect me and I knew that I was going to die here, alone. Please let this be over fast, I thought to myself.
Every step that he took towards me was another step closer to death. His long, black hair was flowing as the cold and pahit wind blew and I found myself shivering because of the coldness and the fear that I felt.
Would anyone find me here after I died? atau would I be Lost forever in this horrid place?
These soalan filled my head and I knew that he was still watching me as my breathing became heavier. I never expected this hari to come but ever since Luke and his family’s arrival, I should have seen this coming soon and this was one of risk that I took for being with him but I would gladly pay the price. As I looked directly into his dark, black eyes, I saw the hatred and anger that had consumed the slayer’s mind.
I knew that this was the end of me now.

CHAPTER 1 A NEW START


“So, how are anda fitting in your new school? Is everyone being nice to you?”
“They are really… friendly, mum. I’m fitting in and the weather is cold but I’m doing fine. Is everything alright, mum? anda seem awfully quiet,” my tone became worried and I was curious about the silence that filled the end of the other line.
“I’m fine. I’m engaged, sweetheart. I’m just so excited about the wedding and anda should see the ring. It’s simply beautiful. You’ll be my bridesmaid, right?”
The thought of me in any dress was simply horrible as I would never be seen wearing a dress even if it was my wedding but it was going to be my mum’s special hari and I wanted her to be happy. She had been seeing David for two years now and he seemed like a wonderful guy for my mother.
“Absolutely, mum. I can’t wait till then,” I quickly lied and tried my best to sound enthusiastic about it. “Um… I’ve to go now and cook makan malam, majlis makan malam before dad comes back. I’ll talk to anda soon.”
“Okay then, Ashley. Send my regards to your father for me. I Cinta you.”
“I too, mum. Bye!”
I ended the call and stared at my handphone for a few moments, thinking about my mother. She seemed really different but still like her old, care-free way and I wondered if David, her new fiancé was taking care of her as I’d did when I’d been staying with her. I stormed downstairs to the dapur and started taking out the cooking utensils out from the cabinets. I decided to cook my favourite dish, spageti with creamy cendawan sauce and as I was busy in the kitchen, I heard the front door opening and closing and my father appeared in the dapur a few moments later.
“I thought I smelled something good. anda shouldn’t be doing all the cooking, Ashley. We could always eat at the makan, kantin and save anda the time of cooking and cleaning up.” He took off his kot and stood at the doorway with his hands folded.
“I like cooking, dad. It helps me to relax and I don’t mind cleaning up. It’s better than eating at the makan, kantin every night,” I kept my eyes on the bubbling pot of the sauce and slowly stirred it. “Dinner’s almost ready, dad.”
“Alright then. I’ll get cleaned up then I’ll help anda set the makan malam, majlis makan malam table. It’s the least I can do to help as anda have been doing all the hard work of cooking for me.”
“I’m fine, dad. anda should get cleaned up and I’ll set the table,” I gave him a weak smile before he walked out the room and went upstairs to freshen himself up.
After a few minutes, he returned to the dapur and I’d already set the meja, jadual and our makan malam, majlis makan malam smelled delicious. We ate in silence for a few moments until my dad spoke.
“So… how was school today?” he took another bite of the spageti and looked at me, waiting for my answer.
“It was fine. I got some new Friends and everyone is really friendly to me. How about you, dad?”
“The hospital was a little crowded today but I managed to treat all the patients. Luckily, the new doctor and his family are arriving tomorrow. Everyone in this town seems to be getting ill and we are short of hands to help,” he sounded relived as he spoke and he seemed exhausted these few days.

“That’s good. anda seemed tired since everyone started falling sick. So, where’s this new doctor from?”
“I’m not sure. Noone seems to know much of him and his family but I do know that he’s really attractive. So are his children. I’m pretty sure that the whole town will be gossiping about them when they’ve arrived.”
“Well, maybe the whole school will stop paying attention to me once the doctor’s children are attending my high school. I talked to mum just before anda came back.”
“How’s she? I haven’t heard much about her,” he looked down as he spoke and I knew that my dad’s feelings towards mum were still the same and I sighed softly. It was going to be difficult to tell him about mum’s engagement.
“She’s… great. She’s getting married to David,” I looked at my father’s face and tried my hardest to study his facial expression but he remained calm after hearing the news.
“That’s… great news. So… when is the wedding?”
“I’m not sure but mum wants me to be her bridesmaid and she’s really excited about it.”
“I see. Well, I’m going to watch the game before I tuck in early. Do anda mind doing the dishes tonight? I’ll do the dishes tomorrow if anda want me to,” he got up from the meja, jadual and walked out to the sitting room.
I heard the Televisyen turned on and I started to clean up the kitchen. After the dapur was spotless enough to my satisfaction, I ran upstairs to my bedroom and shut my room door. I tried to start doing my homework but I was distracted sejak my thoughts. The only reason that I’d decided to stay with my dad was because I’d felt guilty about leaving him all alone and since my mum had David, I decided that it was time to spend some time with my father. I figured that he would be delighted as I hadn’t visited him for a few years now. I went into my bathroom and looked in the mirror; I had my mother’s hazel brown eyes and long, wavy, brown hair. My complexion was slightly pale and I’d a slim figure even though I hated sports. I tried my best to convince myself that I could be pretty as my mother but I couldn’t even lie to myself. I took a long bath and got dressed into a loss fitting baju and a grey shorts. I tied up my hair into a ponytail and sat at my desk, checking my email. I’d gotten two emails from my mother.

Ashley,
I can’t wait for the wedding. I’m really excited about everything. I really miss you!

I sighed and decided to reply her e-mel tomorrow as we’d just spoken on the phone earlier and my eyes was starting to close. I turned off my laptop and jumped onto my bed. I grabbed my book that I’d been Membaca since school started a week lalu and as I started reading, there was a knock on the door and my room door opened with my dad standing at the doorway.
That's all!!! I'm sorry but it's still incomplete!!! Please tell me what anda think about it and please do not copy this as it is all my ideas!!! Thanks so much!!!
